Review summary

I would definitely not bring young children or teens on the coral princess. Geared to a much older crowd. If you are like me and rather be casual all day even at dinner then don't bother bringing formal wear. There are only 2 formal nights and there are other places to eat those days. On the other nights we were perfectly fine in jeans in the dining room. Dress in layers. Balcony had plenty of space for two people and their belongings.

Ship tip

Older crowd (retirement age and older) so it it geared to that. We still enjoyed though (in our 40s)

Oh, some friends of mine took their teens on a Mexican cruise on the Ruby last year and they loved it. But, they went on one of the Oasis class ships this summer to the Caribbean and THAT was the cat’s meow! All depends on the kids, these kids were not typical handout spoiled kids but could find things to do on their own. 112 days until Panama.

Formal wear is optional now days, that is why Princess no longer has a formal night, they have a “dress to impress” night now.
